Yeoman's saga continues, this time flying the famed, and deservedly so, Mosquito. Good look at both sides with their combat losses and victories. Not great literature but an effective story about RAF planes and the men that flew them. ( ) A run of the mill story of the dogfights over Germany between British, German and sometimes American planes during the latter part of the second world war. All the while reading this I thought of the waste of lives on all sides. No heros in this story. Biggles it wasn't. I was given a digital copy of this story by the publisher via Netgalley in return for an honest unbiased review. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Summer 1943. The Battle of Britain is over. But the Battle of Germany has just begun. By night and day, RAF and USAAF bombers drive deep into enemy territory, striking at the heart of Germany's war effort. Squadron Leader George Yeoman, veteran of the skies, has orders to protect the bombers on their long-range missions. He and his men will support in the elusive de Havilland Mosquito, a versatile plane made from wood but capable of stinging the Luftwaffe and sucking the fight from its airmen. Across the channel, Major Joachim Richter, Yeoman's counterpart and adversary, bravely leads his squadron out each night to intercept the Allied bombers before they destroy German cities. The fight will be long and gruelling, but engineers behind the scenes on both sides are racing to build a plane that may soon decide the battle, the fighter jet. Will Yeoman survive the fight or will this be his last? 'Mosquito Squadron' is a classic WWII adventure story. 'Takes you to the heart of the action.' - Tom Kasey, best-selling author of 'Cold Kill'.
